Sunbasket is proud to source the organic ingredients indicated below. On the rare occasion we are unable to meet our organic promise, we'll put a note in your bag.
  • ½ pound organic beets
  • ¼ pound organic Brussels sprouts
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 organic lemon
  • Sunbasket romesco (roasted red peppers - almonds - EVOO - sherry vinegar - fresh garlic - sweet smoked paprika - kosher salt)
  • 1 teaspoon piment d’Espelette (optional)
Chef's Tip
To simplify cleanup, line the sheet pan with aluminum foil before adding the vegetables and chicken.
Make It Leaner
Serve only 2 tablespoons romesco per person to shave off 70 calories and 7 grams of fat per serving. Use the remaining romesco throughout the week as a dip for vegetables or a spread for sandwiches, or whisk in some vinegar to create a smoky red pepper vinaigrette for a tossed green salad.
Ingredient IQ
Piment d’Espelette is a mild red chile from the French Basque region, where the harvested peppers are hung out on balconies and house walls to dry. A cornerstone of Basque cooking, the dried peppers take the place of black pepper in everything from condiments and sauces to poultry, seafood, and eggs.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the vegetables

Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Scrub the beets; cut the beets in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
  • Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise; cut any large sprouts into quarters.
On one end of a sheet pan [on 1 sheet pan], toss the beets and Brussels sprouts with 2 to 4 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.

2

Prep the chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. [Zest and juice 1 lemon; save the remaining lemon for another use.]
On the other end of the sheet pan [on a second sheet pan], place the chicken. Drizzle the chicken with 1 to 3 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the lemon zest and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice.

3

Roast the vegetables and chicken

Roast the vegetables and chicken, stirring the vegetables and turning the chicken halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and continue roasting the vegetables until tender, 5 to 10 minutes longer.

Serve

Spread about 3 tablespoons romesco on each individual plate, top with the chicken, and sprinkle with as much piment d’Espelette as you like. Serve with the roasted vegetables and any remaining romesco.
